Can you get to Cano Island from Puerto Jimenez for a day trip?
My daughter is dying to go to Cano Island to go snorkeling because they are supposed to have seahorses which she has never seen in the wild. From looking into it, I think most people get there from Drake's Bay and not Puerto Jimenez. Can we get a boat trip or whatever from Puerto Jimenez to there?

I agree, Cano Island offers the chance to see seahorses, although the chances of sightings are improved if diving rather than snorkelling. Tours to Cano Island run from several areas, all on the Pacific coast, including Drake Bay, Dominical / Uvita and from some Corcovado lodges. I'm not aware of anyone offering boat trips directly from Puerto Jimenez, the easiest thing to do is probably to drive (around an hour) over to Drake Bay and go from there.

I agree with too much travel time. And, granted I've only been to Cano Island once, I don't think it's that exciting snorkeling wise and probably wouldn't choose to do it unless already in Drake Bay.
